No. 17 Thierry Henry

Henry returned to Arsenal on a one-and-a-half-month loan this past January and was honored with a statue presentation outside of Emerates Stadium for being the Gunners' all-time goal scorer (226). Now back with the New York Red Bulls he leads the team in goals, as he did last season. Long considered one of the sports' classiest acts, he earns as much off as on the pitch. In July 2011 he switched from Reebok and signed a multi-year deal with Puma.
